Victor E. Bull
Hi, I can appreciate all of your work on the UB-related articles. Just on the Victor E. Bull article, would it be preferred to update the reference about the Capital One mascot competition, to exclude the dead link? Typically, any references with dead links are deleted. I wouldn't want for the reference to be deleted just because it has a link that no longer exists. It is the only source that establishes any type of national notability for this article, to date.

 * Okay, this is good to know as, typically, I have read suggestions by other editors that dead links be deleted. The instructions you provided are definitely something that needs to be promoted more.  I also see that you replaced the dead link, which is why I contacted you - because, often, other editors simply delete a reference just because of the dead link tag.  Recovery and replacement, or restating the reference without use of the dead link, I believe, are better than straight out deletion of the entire reference.

Athletics Hall of Fame idea

 * Hi Ejgreen, I think that's a great idea, and also a formidable task. If you're up for it, go to it.  If not, I can work on it in my extra time. :-)  I have really enjoyed editing the UB-related articles!  Check out Victor E. Bull to see the pix that I found and added - they are awesome! :-)  Happy editing, Daniellagreen (talk) 23:00, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
